Worth Checking Out:
The Nine-9pm CST/ABC: Yet another so called Lost derivative. This one picks up the lives of 9 hostages from a bank robbery and how their lives change and are connected after said robbery. Like Lost it sounds like some flashbacks are in order. It also sounds a bit like the Spike Lee joint Inside Man but honestly when a show sounds similar to other things with a high pedigree it might be worth a look.
Jericho-7pm CST/CBS: The premise of a small town being cut off from the rest of the world thanks to what they think is a nuclear war is fascinating. The fact that this comes from the creator of Crossing Jordan is worrisome. Again like The Nine this premise makes the show worth checking out.
Required Viewing:
30 Rock- 7:30pm CST/NBC: In addition to Studio 60 (also on NBC) we have a sitcom from Tina Fey that’s also set behind the scenes of a late night sketch comedy show. I say the more the merrier as long as the creative people behind them include Sorkin and Fey. Joining Tina are ex-SNLers Tracy “I’m Brian Fellows” Morgan and Debbie Downer herself Rachel Dratch. Throw in the king of the Baldwins (yes Alec himself) and you’ve got a great cast. Supposedly the pilot is not very good but subsequent preview episodes have received great word of mouth.
Kidnapped-9pm CST/NBC: I already gave a brief review of this new show when I got a preview disc of the pilot from Netflix but I must say I’ve been thinking about the show ever since. The best sign for a series that’s built on a who/why-dun-it premise is that the audience can’t wait for the next clue and I’ve been suffering for damn near 3 weeks now. Here’s another series filled with quality actors from both the tele and the big screen including an award winning turn in the pilot by Delroy Lindo.
Lost- 8pm CST/ABC: I just got down watching some of last season’s eps on DVD and I think when watched together without huge breaks in between, last season was better then the first. This year the producers have worked out a schedule with less breaks. Think season 3.1 and 3.2. Obviously we have plenty of new questions that will take weeks to find out half answers. I’m curious about whether Jack, Sawyer and Kate actually had a plan in case they got captured. I’m convinced they did after watching the looks exchanged right before they’re taken off to Others-town. October 4th is not too far away Losties so get hatching on those theories (no pun intended, well maybe but only if it made you smile).
